Hi there!

We know that:

Initial Total Mechanical Energy = Final Total Mechanical Energy

(Ei = Ef)

In this instance:

Ei = Gravitational Potential Energy

Ef = Kinetic Energy

In the absence of friction, ALL of the initial potential energy will be changed into kinetic energy at the bottom of the slide. Thus, the maximum kinetic energy of the child will be 1800 J.

The maximum is 1800 J since energy is not created nor destroyed, it is just transformed. In this example, gravitational potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy.

Triss [41]

Answer:

The sum of positive and negative charges in a unit of Al2O3 equals zero.

Aluminium has a charge of +3 while Oxygen has a charge of -2 on each ion.

Al203 has 2 Al atoms and 3 O atoms.

Charge on Al2O3 = 2(charge on Al ion) + 3(charge on O ion)

= 2(3) + 3(-2)

= 6 - 6

= 0

Explanation:

Aluminium has 3 electrons in the outermost shell and has the tendency to lose those 3 electrons to form a positive ion and have a complete outermost shell.

Whereas, Oxygen has 6 electrons in the outermost and has the tendency to accept two more electrons to form a negative ion and have a complete outermost shell.

A student lifts a physical science book off the table and above their head. Is there work being done?
DiKsa [7]

Answer: A force must cause a displacement in order for work to be done. A book falls off a table and free falls to the ground. Yes. This is an example of work.

A soccer ball takes 20 s to roll 10 m. What is the average speed of the soccer ball.
Georgia [21]

Explanation:

velocity is distance divided by time.

so

the average speed of the ball is 10m/20s

= 0.5 m/s

What is also known as watered carbons
faltersainse [42]
The name carbohydrate means "watered carbon" or carbon with attached water molecules. Many carbohydrates have empirical formuli which would imply about equal numbers of carbon and water molecules. For example, the glucose formula C6H12O6 suggests six carbon atoms and six water molecules.
